It’s getting hot out there. The partisan frenzy of the approaching elections is turning up the heat on our democracy, even as new record high temperatures offer a terrifying preview of climate chaos. It’s never been more important to center common ground and prioritize progress over polarization. That can mean putting the public safety conversation back on public health, finding common sense ways to speed up the response to climate change without leaving out valued voices, or spurring the green jobs economy. Scroll down to find out what Dream.Org is doing – and how you can help.

In solidarity,

You can help change the conversation around the “War on Drugs” and lift up the stories of those lost to overdose! On Thursday, August 29th, Dream.Org will officially launch our Public Health is Public Safety campaign where we prioritize advocating for compassionate drug reform and harm reduction. The event will begin with a vigil in remembrance of loved ones lost as we prepare to observe Overdose Awareness Day. Following the vigil, we will hear from a diverse group of individuals impacted by the drug war. We will also unveil the campaign’s goals and initiatives, highlighting our strategies for compassionate drug reform and harm reduction. This is more than just a launch—it’s a movement to save lives and promote public health as a core component of public safety. Join us in making a difference.

Register to Join Us August 29th @ 3pm PT/ 6pm ET

A decade or longer. Believe it or not, that’s how long it can take a company to secure the necessary permits to begin construction on clean energy projects. We cannot combat climate change if approvals take that long – or if we try so hard to speed them up that we leave out public feedback and leave people behind. The answer? Let's do both — streamline the permitting process while involving local voices early on! Urge Congress to amend the Energy Permitting Reform Act and support a strong bill that benefits our climate and communities.

Tell Congress to Amend the Energy Permitting Reform Act!
